Online showed they might have some in stock, so I called first. The gentlemen I spoke with on the phone was really nice and answered my questions, which made me feel confident enough to stop by in person. When I walked in, though, the in-store experience felt a bit different and on the emptier side. The two employees at the front didn't seem very welcoming and gave off a slightly annoyed vibe. When I asked about the Pokémon cards, they seemed confused about what I was referring to until I mentioned I had called earlier and spoken to someone. They checked with their coworker, who clarified which ones he had told me about. I asked to see the packs they had behind the counter, and the interaction still felt a little tense. That said, I was able to grab the two packs, which ended up being the perfect gift for my cousin, so mission accomplished. Overall, they had what I needed, and I appreciate that the phone service was helpful. I'd probably come back if I really needed something specific, and I'm curious to explore more of what they carry. Just hoping for a warmer in-store customer service experience next time.

As a somewhat new collector, this place is amazing! They truly do have almost everything (besides…read moreTransformers, go to Albella for that.) including a surplus of Gundam. They have shelves upon shelves of comics, model kits, etc--I greatly recommend spending some time looking here. The cashier was extremely helpful, showing me around after I asked for some help. Obviously, the main selling point for most people--the prices are great. A figure I would've spent $40+ on Amazon for cost a mere $27.99, as most of their products are retail OR slightly above, by a very slim margin. Additionally, for those who leave low-star reviews; just because your local comic store participates in a day to give FREE product doesn't mean every business has to. You are not entitled to anything of Free Comic Day, it's just that some people offer it. Also, the cat? Why would you pet a sleeping cat? That's pure, unfiltered ignorance--let the poor thing sleep. Also, who goes to a comic store for Anime paraphernalia? What I'm trying to say is, please, don't drop a trip over here because of strange opinions, as the place is definitely worth the trip.

Excellent prices, including some real bargains; well organized and pleasant to browse in. I've been coming here for more than 40 years. Zach, the present owner, has maintained and built on the legacy that Ron established back in the day. Super nice guy. Full selection of new comics, not quite as many trades and collections as some shops that primarily emphasize those lines. This is a true comic book store -- an outstanding one.

There's unique items for your home and practical things to make your life easier. All at prices well below retail! There are several stores open now inside the mall. You pay one dollar and that gets you into all the Secret Markets with a hand stamp. I believe the Toy Vault (different store) is an additional charge if you want to shop there. The Secret Market at Brookfield Square is a lot of fun!!!!!

Stopped by Lion's Tooth recently in an ongoing effort to visit any and all bookshops in the…read moreMilwaukee metro. Lion's Tooth is a small, hole in the wall, bookshop nestled in Bay View. What it lacks for in size, it makes up for in curation. These booksellers know the Bay View audience and have thoughtfully handpicked their stock to suit. I noticed that they have a few bookclubs--I can't remember all of them but there is one that focuses on books about wine. So, if you're looking to learn more about wine, you may have found your spot. They have a nice selection of social justice books and have a solid supply of graphic novels as well. For myself, I was able to pick up a collection of short stores while I was in. What a gem of a spot! Get to it!

The comics I bought were in mint condition and some of them were total steals! I was shocked to get a comic worth almost $50 for just $15. This was the most organised comic book store I've ever been to and I really appreciated the cozy atmosphere. I also loved that they had a nice comfy couch for my parents to relax on while I was getting my comics. Would totally recommend this spot if you're hunting for specific comics!!

I went in twice while visiting family in Milwaukee, and both times walked out of Collector's Edge with unexpected surprises and long sought-after additions to my collection. I was especially happy that, while they certainly carry plenty of the standard superhero comics from Marvel and DC, there's also an excellent selection of the independent titles I tend to prefer. And perhaps my favorite thing - to find the good stuff, you should be willing to hunt a bit. While I'm sure the staff would be only too happy to help point you in the direction of something you're looking for, if you have the time to explore for yourself Collector's Edge will reveal its many treasures to you. So while Zanadu, my old favorite place to shop for comics in Seattle, closed its doors years ago, it's good to know that good old-fashioned comic shops like Collector's Edge keep their tradition going.

The owner (maybe?) was welcoming, helpful, and ready to answer questions about the shop (and cats). Such a quaint and beautiful environment to wander about and find a book (or more) that supports the community. Also, support local, independent bookshops. So much of a recommend!
